Comments:

Joan led 15 walkers from Knott End car
park. It was dry but cold as we walked over the golf course.
Fortunately there were very few golfers, probably because it was
Mothering Sunday. We followed the track of the old "Pilling Pig",
then through a field of guinea fowl before reaching Back Lane at
Town Foot. There is much evidence in the area of work being done by
the Canataxx Gas Storage company who seem to have put up "private"
notices in various places during the last month. A worrying thought!
The return to the car park was along the Wyre Way, along the shore
line at Barnaby's Sands, past Hackensall Hall, over the deserted
golf course and along the promenade. A very pleasant walk.
